Abstract
The set of badly approximable m x n matrices is known to have Hausdorff dimension mn. Each such matrix comes with its own approximation constant c, and one can ask for the dimension of the set of badly approximable matrices with approximation constant greater than or equal to some fixed c. In the one-dimensional case, a very precise answer to this question is known. In this note, we obtain upper and lower bounds in higher dimensions. The lower bounds are established via the technique of Schmidt games, while for the upper bound we use homogeneous dynamics methods, namely exponential mixing of flows on the space of lattices.
